An ethnic Hayreniky, Isagholian was born in Sarhadi to Syara's Clans. Educated at the University of Sarhadi, Isagholian joined many other Clanners in supporting the [[Wardens (Syara)|Wardens]] during the [[Refusal War]], where he served as a regimental runner. Following the war he succesfully ran for office as a member of the High Council during it's inagurual election in 1988. Isagholian served for 22 years as a Councilmember in the Federal Council, one of a select few known within Syaran political cirles as the "elders". Following Syara's defeat in the [[Zemplen War]] and the resignation of [[Dragomir Zhelev]], Isagholian was selected by members of the Union Party to serve as Executive. Isagholian was selected largely on the basis of stability, with the hope that his long tensure as Councilmember would provide much needed stability in Syara's highest office.
